We LIVE TO PLEASE.

The measure Of life being but span.
We should enjoy it while we can;
To accomplish this no better way
Than live with all in harmony.
Each should endeavor each to please,
Which can be done with greatest ease.
1t only needs to lay aside
Self, that would our reason guide.
To please has been our life's desire;
We toll for il, but never tire;
And passing years suggest new ways
BY which we may the people please.
For our last effort in this way,
Permit US here word to say,
And introduce you, if you choose,
To our unequalled stock Of shoes.

And prices what the times demand,
Besides in comfort, ease and wear,
You'll find perfection every pair.

Wonders of Vibration.

When two clocks whose pendulums have
the same range of vibration, are in the
same room and the clock doors are open,
if the pendulum OF one is set in motion the
neodulum of the other will also move. This
is the reason: Every time the pendulum OF
the first clock vibrates it sends puff OF
air in the direction OF the pendulum OF the
second clock, and these puffs, continued
regularly, set the pendulum OF the second
clock going. When two pianos are in the
came room, if the strings OF one are struck
not only will they vibrate, but also the
| corresponding strings OF the other piano,
providing that the forte pedal OF the Sec
ond piano has been depressed. Ii one
whistles note into piano or violin the
strings OF the instrument in unison with
that note will audiby take it up.
